ultramag Report post Posted December 5, 2008 We left the house at 5:30 am thanksgiving day in the pouring rain, when we found our campsite the rain stopped and the weather turned out awesome for the rest of the week except for the fog sat morning. for a few days we saw a lot of does and a few small bucks. then on tuesday morning my good friend clint spotted 2 nice bucks bedded down on a hillside about 600 yards away in the sun, so we gathered our gear and headed toward a small knoll that we thought we could shoot from, It turns out that it was still about 550 yards away from the bucks, I wanted to get as close as we could to take the shot, so we keep going down the ridge and we closed the gap to 420 yards and this was as close as we could get, I set up to shoot and one shot from my .270 wsm and it was all over. Its was a great hunt and this deer was hard earned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ultramag Report post Posted December 6, 2008 Atta boy Brian! Way to go! Brian is being modest on his shot, I didnt see the shot but I saw the buck. It was a awesome quartering away shot! ya it was a tough shot, no matter what I did I couldn't get as steady as I needed or wanted dammed bipods, they work great when you can use them but become an pain, the bullet went into the neck dropped him instantly thanks Matt nice meating you as well.
